Ati nsg234 paediatrics nursing proctored exam
A nurse is assessing a child who has nephrotic syndrome. The nurse should expect which of the following findings?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Edema with normal or low BP is correct. In nephrotic syndrome, fluid retention leads to edema, and blood pressure is typically normal or low due to the loss of protein in the urine and reduced plasma oncotic pressure. B. Edema with hypertension is less common in nephrotic syndrome but may occur in cases with significant fluid retention or other complications. C. Unexpected weight loss is incorrect. Weight gain due to fluid retention is a hallmark of nephrotic syndrome. D. Frequency and urgency are not common symptoms of nephrotic syndrome; these are more typical of urinary tract infections.
